Well done! I've checked up the playlist you've written. Excuse me, I should've done that. It's all good, I've pinned your comment. Thank you very much, Silvio.

My sainted father, may he RIP, was a lifelong trad jazz aficionado and third generation NY Yankees fan. He'd have loved this. Thanks for making me smile on this rainy Northern Virginia day as I long for Louisiana.
I had never seen this video. Seeing all these talented musicians brings a little joy in this sad existence we are living right now (2022, May). Special mention for Isle of Capri.
Put a lap steel guitar and a bass sax together in a band that plays great old time hot jazz and some Hawaiian tunes and I suddenly become very happy and also very grateful because it doesn't happen everyday. These guys are great.
You are right Kenneth, This band is fantastic, lovely real New Orleans style playing,non of the 'Racetrack' music, you know the kind, 'Look Mum, I can play faster than anyone else)..this music reflects the good old time dance music of the George Lewis Days,Jim Robinson, Chester Zardis and co. Great to hear and see. Thank you guys and gals.
What a pleasure to hear that there are still drummers who can play that style with verve and conviction! And I haven't heard such a bass saxist since the days of Adrian Rollini.
Michael Magro has offered us yet more genius and passion for traditional jazz. It is likely that he called and assembled this ensemble just for this occasion .. probably with little rehearsal, at least as the full unit. They are THAT good, and his selections bring their brilliant talent to the fore. Seems like several of our favorite bands are off-spring of Loose Marbles ... talk about insight, mentoring and generosity ! What's more, Michael and Ben Polcer are still at it ! Thank you again, Alice Glick and Albita Springs.
Must respectfully disagree with the two viewers who expected more from the video production. The camera work was excellent, in my opinion. Non-invasive and captured the feel of the Albita Springs event in such a way that the festival is now on my bucket list. I live in Utah and will be planning my next RV road trip around a week or so in Albita Springs and N.O., La. (and GOTTA hit the Spotted Cat!) I'm retired from the film and video production business. People become accustomed to seeing one-hundred-thousand-dollar-per-minute production values (about average for a typical network TV show). My guess is that much of the production work on this piece was done as a labor of love, and with a very tight budget. And, BTW, the sound is brilliant! I've watched this video several times, and will likely watch it many more in years to come. Thanks so much to Alice Glick and the production crew, and please post many more.
I attended the Sacramento Dixieland Jazz Festival only once. That was n 1980. This wonderful band takes me back to that fun experience. Kudos to the sound engineer!
I'm surprised & delighted at all the great jazz bands In N O. This band is really very tight unit , lovely sound & timing. The bass sax adds to the whole show,. Thank you Alice you are right on the money with Loose Marbles
We can see the root of Tuba Skinny from this band, most of TS member if not all was rooted in Loose Marble, you can feel the soul of the music, flowing thru both band.
Kocham Was za ten program . Jesteście moimi ulubionymi muzykami. Słucham Was niemal codziennie i cieszę się że mogę Was słyszeć i oglądać w każdej chwili.
One of my favorite moments in this video is at about 18:25. The little girls are bored between numbers, and are about to sit on the edge of the stage. When the band suddenly starts, its like a lightning bolt of energy catapults them back to dancing up a storm. Great video! Great music!
Hi, Alice. It´s a very god job you have done, bringing this music out in the world. Here en Denmark vi used to play at lot of New Orleans Jazz doing the 70s and 80s. Good to focus on the tradition. Hans-Christian Vinther.
Seams that all these groups put out great music when they play at Abita Springs, hope all of it finds its way to you tube for all of us fans to enjoy. Great job Alice.
Marla Dixon is great, Shaye Cohn too (listening in the background), and all other members have become established and very well known by now, but somehow, ... , when Michael Magro is there the whole experience acquires an extra dimension !!! (apart from the fact that the band itself then resumes its primordial name, the "Loose Marbles"). A Big Thanks to all the guys/girls for playing this nice music (the old time jazz) we all love so much. Love to all.
Its nice to see just how nice Mat Bell enjoys in the first Island song. On the other side Tomasz, the sax man, always has that smile when Craig Flory plays, comparable only to the smile PW Russel had whenever Coleman Hawkins played a solo. They all know full well they made a wonderful record - thats why they are glad. Great, Great, Great Michael Magro.
